So just to give you all an idea of what I really use my deck for , here ya go. On any good nice sunny day you will easily find a menagerie of projects set out to bake in the sun. This line up consists of stockings, snowman hats, there's a sheep in there, a snowman body and a tree topper! Quite the mix! All these goodies are getting done for the Southern Christmas Show which starts on Nov. 13 and goes til Nov. 23 at the Charlotte Merchandise Mart now known as The Park. To see the finished products, come on down to the show and scoot on over to booth 2153. I'd love to see ya!

This is really interesting! Russ and I had a wedding to go to in Pennsylvania two weeks ago and we took the opportunity to stop by and see The Natural Bridge in Virginia. To say the least it was beautiful! Thomas Jefferson bought it for about 2.50 cents years ago and George Washington helped him survey it and even carved his G.W. initials on the side of it. You can still see them to this day. We walked the entire path to reach the waterfall and it was just so relaxing and beautiful. We practically had the whole thing to ourselves. You could hear the birds chirping, water rushing, leaves crunching, squirrels scampering. The temperature was cool and crisp....PERFECTION!I was in heaven...the only thing that could have possibly made this any better was if there was something like the Natural Bridge Primitive Shop, or a Thomas Jefferson's Primitive Goods, along the trail! I know there was like no chance of that, but a gal can wish can't she?? I should have put that on the comment card! If you ever get a chance to go, I know you will enjoy it! Now I have to get back to work!!
